Masterful: The Porsche 962C & the golden years of Walter Lechner Sr.

The racecar in red is the iconic Porsche 962C, which was not just a technical evolution, it was a real champion.

Walter Lechner Sr. achieved remarkable success with the Porsche 962C. He won the Interserie Championship three times - in 1983, 1987, and 1989 (the last two with the 962C), finished third overall in the Supercup in 1989, and competed twice in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The legendary Jim Beam livery remains an unforgettable cult object in the motorsport scene.

The 962C was a multi-talent and competed in several racing series:
•⁠ ⁠FIA Group C
•⁠ ⁠⁠IMSA GTP in North America
•⁠ ⁠⁠Interserie in Europe
•⁠ ⁠⁠24 Hours of Le Mans

A machine that left its mark across continents - and one that holds a very special place in the history of Lechner Racing.

Do you know what DTM racing drivers René Rast (Germany), Thomas Preining (Austria) and Ayhancan Güven (Turkey) have in common? That's right: they all have been winning Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup races for Lechner Racing.
René Rast won the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup title in 2010, 2011, and 2012 together with Lechner Racing. With Thomas Preining, we celebrated the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany title in 2018, and with Güven, we achieved several podiums in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup in 2021.
 
Currently, Güven is ranked 3rd in the championship, Preining 5th, and Rast 7th.
 
We wish the three of them every success for the race weekend in our home country Austria!
